Following directions
and using version 1.0.1 Puppy I downloaded the iso and pup001 file and followed the directions and easily expanded the pup001 file from 262,144k to 762,144k using a 512000000 command in the instructions instead of the 128000000 recomended. I see no reason why it would not accept other commands , as long as you have enough hard drive space (and patience-- no % scrolls or hourglass). Then delete the .bak and extra files as necessary to save space..after assuring all files are transfered to their proper directories.. As for updating to the next level of Puppy, I have not tried it yet..

If you need step by step instructions :

1. Download the pup001.zip from the puppy-1.0.1 directory at :

ftp.nluug.nl/vol/4/metalab/distributions/puppylinux/puppy-1.0.1

[ things seem to download much faster from my location

using their FTP than using ibibilo's ]

2. Unzip into the XP C: drive

3. Burn the iso from the same sight onto a Fresh CD.

4. Re-boot the pc with the cd in the drive and the bios set to boot from CD / A / C:

12. Done.. You may wish to repeat the process to add more space
for Puppy Unleashed and or other DotPups or PupGet
Apps..

No credit is due here, I only followed instructions given in the
program and directions within Puppy. I only put it down in
step by step format.. I did this with a virgin XP Pro system
using a 4.2 Gig Hard Drive with 128M ram. I did not even load
the drivers for XP on the system (e.g. audio / vidio / etc...) I
used CD's entirely to do this , not even connected to the Internet
with the PC tested..

You still need the Puppy 1.0.1 Version CD you Burned to boot your system in PuppyLinux. It only saves added applications / files / settings / and expands your capabilities in Puppy while 'scabbing' off the 'TaDa' file system..

I do hope this helps someone , somewhere , sometime . Later, bd_________________There are no luggage racks on a Hearse!

Thanks rarsa. Resizing worked fine on my pc several times with PakRat's instructions only. Then along comes 105 and no more resizing. The 'failed' (in red) to resize error came up at boot time. So I swore.

I had resized 104 so I tried doing this again from the downloaded iso. It was no longer possible. I thought it was ntfs corruption so deleted the puppy files and defragged the disk. No 'failed' error at boot but no actual resizing either. I use xp for very little (now that I have a dvd player) so I rebuilt the disk from the xp recovery/install cd. No change in result.

So the disk had had a new image written to it by norton ghost from the cd (not for the first time) but it still had this error. I swore again. Twice.

Followed your instructions and hey presto. Now I can start to remaster 105.
